During the past decade, research and practice in the field of
behavior modification have experienced phenomenal growth.
Behavioral inter vention strategies that were considered strictly
experimental a few years ago are now accepted therapeutic
modalities, and behavioral method ology has been instrumental in
creating an atmosphere conducive to the development of scientific
rigor in the area of mental health. But behav ioral influence has
not been limited to mental health. There has been considerable
impact in education, industry, government, and general health care.
Although behavior modification has made a significant impact on
psychology in general, there has been a noticeable lack of
theorizing and empirical research on issues primarily related to
black populations. In fact, the black community in general, and
black psychologists in partic ular, often have viewed behavioral
approaches with suspicion. We hope that the material presented in
this volume will serve to clarify what the behavioral approach is
and what it is not and that it will help to foster an understanding
of the behavioral approach. Moreover, empirical data demonstrating
the effectiveness of behavioral procedures with black populations
are presented. It is our hope that the material will provide some
insight into how behavioral theory, methodology, and therapeutic
strategies can be used to the benefit of black mental health in
particular and the overall psychological health of the black
community in general."
